SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 377,474, dated February 7 1888. i

1 Application filed August 22, 1887. Serial No. 241610. (No motlelJ' To. all whom it may concern i Be it known thatl, JOHN V. AUTH, a citizen of the United'States, residing at Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Penn-- sylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in WindowvGlass Setting; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable othersskilled in .the

.ro art to which it pertains to make a'udusc the same, reference being bad to the accompanying dr awings,which form-a part of this specification. t N

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a sash with my improvements applied.- Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional view of the same. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a portion of a glass show- 7 ing my rubber cushion attached. Fig; 4 is an enlarged view of a portion of the cushion which I preferably employ.

Before describing the details of construction I wish to say that I am well aware that it is not new to place the cushion in the rabbet ot' 2 a sash, which rabbet is closed by a securingstrip placed against the outer side of the glass.

- r The object of the presentinvention is to provide a cheap and simple means for permitting the expansion and contraction of glass or lights such as used in windows ofhouses, the'same also serving as a cushion and a means of security in setting andhandling the glass while placing it in the sash. The novelty consists in the oonstructionand adaptation of parts, 5 as will presently be set forth; and pointed out in theclaim. j .7

Referring by letter to the said drawings, A indicates a sash, which may be of any ordinary or approved construction, having a groove or 4c rabbet to receive the glass.

B indicates a glass, which I have shown as being rectangular in outline, although it may beof other form.

0 indicates the cushion, which 'I apply to" the edge of the glass and in thegroove or rab- 'fram'e warp, the

. Thecombinationofthewimlow-sash,grooved as described, a window-glass, the rubber tub bet of the sash. This cushion I have shown as being composed of rubber tubing slittedf longitudinally, as at a. This tubing, after being cut into proper length, is stretched over the edges of the glass, as more'ful] y shown in Fig. 3. It should be 'hereobserved that this cushion, being formed froin tubing, maybe obtained at a very small expense, and that'its resiliency will cause it to adhere to the glass .before settiug it in the sashand effectually 5 serve as a protector to the hands-of-the workman. lattach importance to lheeniployment of this tubing, and to the fact that it may} be" soquickly appliedaround the edges of the glass that it may adhere thereto and protect the hands of thework man. It is obvious that 7 this tubing may be of any suitable weight, ac-' cording to the size ot'thc glass and the sash a in which it is to be used.

very high temperaturefthe rubber will yield, I i and thereby prevent serious damage to the glass; or should the building settle orv the glass will be protected from breakage.

Having described this invention, what'l claim is ing 0,: slitted longitudinally and applied to the edges of the glass, and the stripsb, confining the rubber and glass in the groove of the sash, substantially as specified. JOHN V. AUTH.
